• Groups or clubs that you belong to - scouts, rugby, choir, Moat Farm community....

• What your interests or talents are – watching films, dance, X Box....

• What things are important to you. • What your hopes are for the future.• Which people are important to you. • Your religion• The languages that you speak. • Which country you are from.

What you value also makes up part of who you are.

you,then give me a thumbs up – if not, it’s thumbs down.

DemocracyBritain is a democracy – this

means that the people in Britain vote for the people who make the laws and decide how the country is run. If we didn’t have a democracy, just one

person might be able to make all the laws and that would not

be fair.

Democracy

has a voice that is listened to.You fill in questionnaires to state

your opinions on what you like about school, and what you would like to

change.

safe.

The rule of the lawAt Moat Farm, you are taught the

school rules, and at the beginning of each year as a class, you create class

rules.

Your teachers keep you safe and value all of you. They make sure you understand the reasons behind each

of the rules the school has.
